Introduction
Exposure conditions
For Mammography only 1 exposure is needed and no rotation
of the cassette.
Remove the compression paddle before the exposure.
Tape an Aluminum filter at the tube exit.
Insert the cassette in the bucky and make an exposure with the
following settings:
• 28 kV
• 200 mAs
• Mo/Mo
• large focus
• 2.0 mm Aluminum filter
If this leads to an overexposure, the mAs setting can be
reduced, but it should not be lower than 50 mAs.
Identify the cassette as System Diagnosis Mammo - Flat Field
Mammo.
